Amen, Joe! As someone once said, when the USSR published Pravda the Russian people knew it was overt propaganda. But today in the USA, the same kind of overt pro-government propaganda is being spewed by our media and too many people believe it's true. The goal of the surge (creating a stable government - never happened; revenue sharing - never happened) has been a failure. Saying that violence is down in areas where ethnic cleansing has already occured is akin to saying the crime rate dropped in Hiroshima in 1945. Our "Bush is Good & so is war" mainstream media made up their minds long ago that 2008 was not going to be a year of highighting the failure of the GOP's clusterfuck in Iraq as we head into a presidential election.

From WMD to Abu Ghraib to the wondrous surge, every aspect of the failed occupation of Iraq has been built on lies. Thank you Joe for not clicking your heels and saluting the devastating failure in Iraq.
